Tween Yoga Classes
For tween classes, we still play games (like "Yoga Jenga" and "Yoga Pick-Up Sticks"), practice partner and group poses, and work on mindful activities and breathing techniques to help maintain balance, focus, and a sense of calm ... but we also start to transition to an actual adult yoga class with longer flows and poses focused on specific body parts (poses aimed at opening the hips, strengthening the core, deepening flexibility, etc.).
Tween Kids Yoga Classes (11 - 13yr olds)
Tackle, Taste, Transform
​
Kids this age still enjoy Partner Yoga Poses, and playing Jenga, Yogafied Pick up Sticks to practice Gratitude, along with longer flows of Yoga Sequences and challenging peak poses that strengthen and stretch specific body parts (opening hips, strengthening core, stretching hamstrings). Balance, Focus and calm are the 3 point Goal of our class.
